lol, i'm proud now, i changed my appreciation towards it, because i put time and work into it, and yet some people liked it, which made me happy.

The effects were bad, and the gradients made it look worse. It was still a good animation, you just cut too many corners..

This deserves a bump because of the effort put into it =P

It could've been alot better, the animation was laking in some parts, but awesome in others, The best parts were the beginning where their fighting the birds [I've never played gears of war in single player so I don't know the proper names for the enemies =P] I liked how the visuals were at at the beginning but once that giant spider thing showed up they weren't that great. The gradients were to obvious, and took away rather than giving. The sounds were repetitive, especially the sounds of footsteps. All in all it was a great animation though, and I bet, given a few more weeks, you could've wiped the floor with us.

lol thanks man, yeah i know the beginning was better, that because i was so syked up to make it, but then i had to rush the end because exams kept piling up on me consuming most of my time, but yeah giving a few more weeks or even days would've benifitted me more.

it's pretty god damn awsome

Yeah i did get lazy, sometimes my thought was to give up, but winners never give up, and what i won was what better animators haven't won before pride, stuff yada yada yada...but not all of them have ever made a full legnth film.
